Promotion Training for Police Officers
W: I would like to remind you that earthquakes also cause tables
shaking.
So, the correct action is not to crouch down but to kneel down
and hold on the table’s legs instead of covering your head with
your hands.
Here is an illustration for your reference.
A: But today’s earthquake happened early in the morning and
woke me up.
There are not any tables in the bedroom so how should I take
refuge?
W: If there are not any sturdy tables nearby, then you can take
refuge under some other strong furniture, or solid structural
beams like in a doorway or a corner, with your hands over
your neck and head for protection.
A: How about if we huddle up next to a large piece of furniture?
Wouldn’t be even safer?
S: No, that is actually dangerous since you may get injured by
falling objects from cabinets or shelves, such as thick books,
vases, and knick-knacks.
